Long Branch, X. .J., Oct. 10.?Presi/iont "Wiicnn anrl Sprretarv Lansing discussed in detail at Shadow Lawn today German submarine attacks on merchantmen Sunday off the New England coast. The conference Lasted until late tonight and. will be continued tomorrow morning. 1 It was indicated by officials today that facts so far collected through j government agencies/ have disclosed no grounds for drastic action by the United States government because or the uttacks themselves. Xo evidence has been found that international law was violated by the German sub-1 marines. It was understood, how-1 ever, that the president and Secretary Lansing discussed the wisdom of j pointing out to Germany the iijadvis-; mbility of operating her submarines j ?-xA/v 4-Am'f nrio 1 in Close proxiinuy iu Hie tuiuu.m. waters of the United States. 'Administration officials took the position that the transferring of sub- 1 marine warfare so close to America's j shores was fraught with grave danger! because of tlie possibility of mist ikes being made by submarine commanders. Reports that strong senti-: ment exists in Germany for the re- j sumption of submarine warfare on a broader scale caused some alarm among officials. The announcement of Counselor j Pclk. of the state department inj Washington today that the United States will refust to accept the contention of the entente allies that neu- j tr. ils should deny the use of their j harbors to all submarines preceded J the arrival of Secretary uz-usiug uuc. Gerard in Picture. The arriv.il of James W. Gerard, American ambassador to Berlin, in New York shortly before Mr. Lansing I left that city for Shadow Lawn added; interest to the meeting between the j president and Mr. Lansing 'because of j tlie fact that the secretary saw ,vir. i Gerard at luncheon in Xcvv York. In discussion of the hubmarines at- , tacks Sund. y officials here referred to' diplomatic correspondence between the j I'nitcd States and Great Britain, be-! ginning in 1914, in which the American government protested against the patrolling of the American coast out*1 *-?i?oViinc side the tttree nine nmu uy This was pointed to as providing a precedent for protesting agiinst the proximity of German submarines to the American coast. In the correspondence with Great Britain the United States took the position that it always had maintained that patrolling by belligerent cruisers J in,"close proximity" |o ports of the! " ii-ith ! United States wijs mtuusisimi .nu. {he treatment to be expected from the vessels of a friendly power in time of war. Great Britain did not admit the legal correctness of the position of the United States, but promised to do everything possible to avoid annoying American shipping. While no formal announcement was j pnnsi^pred nrobable the I mailt; u vfuu F ? United States would take a position i with regard to German submarine | operations similar to that assumed in connection with the coast patrol. There was absolutely no indication that the president and Secretary Lansing had any ground for thinking Germany had violated its promises not to attack merchantmen without warning and j nrnvidintr for the safety of | l? Ii/Iiwut. v passengers and crews. It w,<s stated, however, that evidence still was being collected and that no final decision c:i this point had been reached. The secretary came to Long Branca at 5:40 o clock this afternoon. Pres ident :\Yfllson was at the station to meet "him. It was the first time he and Secretary Lansing had seen each other since the president left Washington early in September. They went immediately to Shadow Lawn. There was no discussion of the submarine question until 8 o'clock when diflner was finished. Then the president and Secretary Lansing went into the entire question in detail. It was said they would confer until so late there was no possibility of an announcement tonight. Secretary Lunsing expects to /eturn to Washington tomorrow.

This | was announced by Secretary Lansing tonight after his return from his conference with President Wilson at "Shadow Lawn." | Although the secretary declined to elaborate on this statement, other officials indicated that much would depend on Rear Armiral Knight's report on all the naval phases of the raid, particularly steps taken to insure the safety of passengeVs. There v/as every evidence thi.it Secretary Lansing has gone to see uie presiueiu more to discuss possible eventualities than with the idea of making a definite decision. Officials here expect that the report from Rear Admiral Knight, 'based on the statements of CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER | Rev. Edward Fulenwider, Paster.

On Thunder Mountain lived Nell Serviss, a wild flower of surpassing beauty. | The Servisses were "at feud" with the Rutherfords, who lived on the other side of the mountain. Jim Serviss, a caal, clear-e'yed young mountaineer was the leader of his clan and between i Jim and Nell Serviss was a sort of mountain 'betrothal, for Jim loved : i Nell with all his heart and soul. Tom i Serviss, his vicious, worthless brother ' also loved Xell and persistently anVitir with his fl ftpntirtTl lk\jj yu uvi vvav** i One day a handsome stringer from the city, that distant fairyland came * into this little world and went to live * with the Rutherfords. A humorous accident made Nell and the newcomer acquainted. Each day the stmnger would m-or flip mountains examining n auuvi v* V* v^.v ??? ^ the rock and chipping it with a little hammer. His actions puzzled the "moonshining" mountainers, who suspected him of being a "revenooer." I Xell Serviss and the newcomer bel came close friends and this friend- x ship soon grew into something deeper | and stronger. Leirning of his search | for radium ore Xell showed the stranger a rich deposit near the Scrviss ' "moonshine'" still. Shortly afterwards, on the night of the dance in the schiil house, the still was burned by the revenue officers. The newcomer was suspected and the Servisses started in the morning to "get" him. I wn dashed through the forest to ! warn "her?friend?with evil-minded . ! Tom Serviss in pursuit. But. her friends, the mountains, punished Tom in their own fashion and Neil arrived at -.the Rutherford's cabin in the nick of time. Rutherford then faced Serviss and in a sacrifice few women have ever been called upon to make little Nell of Thunder Mountr'n humiliated herself that another migiii be saved and by so doing triumphed in "THE STRONGER LOVE'' thnt lifted j higher than the mountain peaks.
